Adventures on GamersHood Planet

[Mistery]

Mystery said to the lady in a sad voice: "My inner self is not moving."
The therapist replied with a gentle smile: "I have just told you, it will move as soon as you move yourself to the music."
So Mystery did her alien dance....

...but still nothing happened. Mystery pointed on the doll on the floor and said to the lady: "You see? It is still not moving. It is broken. Are you able to fix it?", and picked up the doll from the floor and gave it to the lady. The therapist started to talk to the doll: "Yes, we are hurt, right? Nono, don't worry, we will work it out. Soooo, we take some bandage and put it where you are hurt, your pain will stop soon. Gooood, we have put the bandage on, now we are going to sleep a short while.", and she put the doll into a small bed for dolls.
Mystery observed this weird situation and was trying to understand what was going on. "So, my inner self is hurt, and is therefore not speaking to me." She then turned to the lady and asked her: "How long must my inner self sleep now to fully recover? I need to talk to it as soon as possible."
"Very very soon," the therapist answered, "but meanwhile we have to prepare you for the first contact. Now close your eyes and feel the music. Adapt your movements to its flow."
She started to turn around. Mystery looked at her, and then her attention was caught by a strange sound that was louder than the soft music, and something was moving on the shelf. She looked there and froze: she saw Escape shouting over and over again: "ROFL!!! ROFL!!!!", and she was rolling on the shelf:

So Mystery lay down on the ground, started to roll to the left and to the right, but was still hesitating to give any sound of herself as the lady had only been spoken about moving and not about making sounds.
The therapist stopped to turn and stared at Mystery: "Are you alright? Do you have any pain? Say something!"
"Aha, now comes the sound", Mystery thought, and still rolling on the floor, she started to shout: "ROFL!!! ROFL!!!"
The therapist stared at Mystery in rage, switched off the music and shouted at Mystery: "You are making fun of me!!!! What is this???? Now, get up, and leave my house at the spot!!! And don't forget to take your doll with you!!!", she picked up the doll and threw it at Mystery. Mystery thought: "This lady must be crazy, she is throwing my inner self instead of tomatoes. I'd better leave as soon as possible." So she took her inner self and left the house.
Completely exhausted, she decided to take a rest at GamersHood Planet. Although she knew that she had still many things to deal with, like talking to her inner self, transferring her new and strong inner self to her outer self, and getting rid of some strange viruses.
The only problem was that she could not find her beaming device, somehow she must have lost it somewhere. She felt very desperate. Suddenly there was this voice: "Mystery, hi." Mystery looked around but could not see anybody. "Hi, Mystery, I'm here." She noticed that the doll was talking to her. Finally!!! She felt very happy and answered to the doll: "Hi my inner self, nice to meet you! I have so much waited for the chance to talk to you!"
However the doll answered: "Mystery, what are you talking about? Inner self? Hi, don't you recognize me? I'm Lilli."
Mystery took a closer look at the doll, and indeed she had to realize that she hold Lilli in her hands, although she seemed to have shrunk since the last time they met.

However the doll answered: "Mystery, what are you talking about? Inner self? Hi, don't you recognize me? I'm Lilli."
Mystery took a closer look at the doll, and indeed she had to realize that she hold Lilli in her hands, although she seemed to have shrunk since the last time they met.

"Yes, I seem to have gotten myself into quite a mess, huh?", Lilli said with a little tinee tiny voice that that at times was hard to hear. "My roommate admitted me to the loony bin where they had a bran new therapeutic method and so they tried it on me. Well, you can see the result now. They managed to split my mind from my body and now my body is a vegetable while I am stuck in this doll." Mistery stood and gawked dumbfounded at the ugly fabric doll. Data again did not compute. How could Lillis body transform into a vegetable while her mind was in a doll talking to her? "Have your body become a carrot?" she asked because she had no idea what else to say. "No, my body turned into a baboon. What kind of a question is that??? Are you just going to stand there or what?". For some reason the Lilli doll seemed upset at Mistery because she was standing still so she started to walk. "You don't like being so close to your inner self?" said Mistery in the hope that Lilliputt could clear up that mystery. "Oh, yeah, I'm having a BALL!" said Lilli in her tinee tiny voice, "could you just help me get back into my body?". As Mistery understood it, Lillis body had turned into a vegetable that turned out to be a baboon and was in the hospital. For some reason Lilli wanted to get back to that body although she was very much in contact with her inner self. Finally it struck Mistery that if she could do the same thing as Lilli had done, she too would finally come in contact with her inner self.

[Mistery]

Now Mystery knew that she had to beam herself into her inner self to be as near to it as possible. But for that, she had to find the body of a baboon and beam Lillis mind into it. The only problem was that she still could not find her beaming device.
"I must have lost it when I was rolling on the floor at the lady's house", she thought to herself, and decided to go back. She slowly opened the door and heard some voice from the first floor: "Yes. No. She was making fun of me. No, sorry, but I can't accept any more patients from you....". Mystery was glad the lady wasn't in the room, she quickly scanned the floor and finally found the beaming device. She left the house again, and was dealing with the next problem. "Lilli", she said, "do you have any idea where I can find baboons?", but there was no answer; Lilli was still very angry and refused to talk with Mystery. So the alien turned to the next pedestrian, who was an old lady: "I'm sorry, can I ask you a question, please?"
The old lady smiled: "Yes, of course. How can I help you?"
"Can you tell me where I can find baboons?", she asked, and the old lady replied: "Yes, of course. The zoo is very near from here, just walk around the corner over there and walk two blocks straight on."
"Could you please give me the exact coordinates?", Mystery wanted to know. But the old lady just frowned and then shook her head. Mystery thanked her for the help and walked to the zoo. At the entrance there was a man in uniform, so Mystery thought that he might be familiar with the zoo. So she turned to him and asked him where she could find the baboons. The man offered to accompany her and show her where they were. Suddenly the man stopped and pointed to a big space surrounded by a fence. There were some creatures sitting and jumping in there, and the man said: "We are here. Now have fun observing the baboons, they act really funny sometimes, hahaha!", and then he left Mystery alone.

[Vault]

At times, a ghost of a young boy with no eyes would slowly appear behind the couple. It seemed sad, and whenever it "saw" anyone's eyes, it would wrap a ghostly bandana around its eyes and vanish. The ghost tries to make contact with the alien, desperately... But then Lilli's eyes flash into view, and the boy quickly dissapears, with a loud moaning sound.

[Lilliputt]

Now Mystery knew that she had to beam herself into her inner self to be as near to it as possible. But for that, she had to find the body of a baboon and beam Lillis mind into it. The only problem was that she still could not find her beaming device.
"I must have lost it when I was rolling on the floor at the lady's house", she thought to herself, and decided to go back. She slowly opened the door and heard some voice from the first floor: "Yes. No. She was making fun of me. No, sorry, but I can't accept any more patients from you....". Mystery was glad the lady wasn't in the room, she quickly scanned the floor and finally found the beaming device. She left the house again, and was dealing with the next problem. "Lilli", she said, "do you have any idea where I can find baboons?", but there was no answer; Lilli was still very angry and refused to talk with Mystery. So the alien turned to the next pedestrian, who was an old lady: "I'm sorry, can I ask you a question, please?"
The old lady smiled: "Yes, of course. How can I help you?"
"Can you tell me where I can find baboons?", she asked, and the old lady replied: "Yes, of course. The zoo is very near from here, just walk around the corner over there and walk two blocks straight on."

There were some creatures sitting and jumping in there, and the man said: "We are here. Now have fun observing the baboons, they act really funny sometimes, hahaha!", and then he left Mystery alone.

Mistery walked up to the fence and noticed that the area surrounded by the fence was at a lower level from where she stood. She peered down at the baboons and was astonished that Lilli actually wanted to get herself into one of those bodies. The baboons were scratching each other, jumping around or just laying about. Mistery could not register any behaviour that could be considered intellectual in any way. She took the ugly Lilli doll and placed it on the fence so it would face the baboons. "Look", Mistery triumphantly said, "I found baboons for you, Lilli. Now you can have your body". This did shake some life into the doll but the reaction was not exactly what Mistery had expected. "WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE??!!", the doll shouted with it's squeaky little voice,"I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO HELP ME??!!" Mistery gently turned the doll so she could look at its face. It was obvious she had made a miscalculation somewhere but was unable to establish the origin of the error. From the gathered data Lilliputt was supposed to be beamed into a baboon because she had gotten in contact with her inner self and was now in the process of transferring her strength to her outer self. Logically this would mean that Lilliputt would need a baboon body. "Do you not wish to be beamed into a baboon any more?" Mistery asked inquisitively. For a moment the doll went quiet but Mistery could have swore it was staring angrily at her."I didn't mean that my body had turn into a baboon literally, Mistery. It was a sarcastic JOKE! I meant that my body is strapped in the hospital, in a coma like state". Mistery took a moment to ponder upon this new and unforeseen information that had completely gone undetected. Humans did have a strange way of giving information, and she always found it fascinating that it very often was containing insufficient data. "How could a vegetable fall into a coma?", she asked as she now realised that Lillis body had not been turned into a baboon. Again the doll went silent and that twinkle of fury was ever more present. "A body that is in a coma is alive but not able to function normally. A slang word for that state is "vegetable" ", said the doll with an even more high pitched tone. "Ah!", said Mistery unsure if that was a proper response since this whole situation was very confusing for her. "So you would like to be beamed into your body that is in a coma state and is called "Vegetable" and is in the hospital", she added. To think that humans named a body in coma was really beyond her. In this case it had gotten the name Vegetable. So should she go to the hospital and ask to se miss Vegetable? As she left the Zoo with Lilli the ugly doll in her pocket, she thought about this.

-------------------> To be continued by Mistery tomorrow

[Mistery]

Mystery decided to beam up to her ship and take a look at literature about coma. So she did, and read a lot of human medical literature. Finally she understood what happened to Lilli's body. But she was very surprised that humans just let a body in that state as it was without healing it. She decided to beam down to the clinic where the body in coma was strapped to the bed, and to take a medical robot with her.
When she arrived in the room, she sent the robot to the body to make the necessary cure. As soon as the robot announced that the body was working again properly, she told to the doll in a gentle voice: "Lilli, I have found your body and let my medical robot to fix it. Now I am ready to beam your mind into that body, however I would like to make sure that you agreed to it."
Lilli answered: "Finally! It took you long to understand what I wanted!", and suddenly turned very friendly, "And thank you, Mystery."
Now that Mystery made sure that she was up to do the right thing, she took her beaming device and beamed Lillis mind to her body. "Are you back now? And are you okay?", she asked.
Lilli replied: "Yes, I'm okay, however.... Would you mind to let me free? I'm still strapped to the bed." Mystery untied Lilli and told her: "Well, now I have to beam my mind into my inner self. And I ask my robot to take the beaming device and to beam me back in a short while into my body."
Lilli said: "No, don't do that, Mystery! The doll is just a regular doll. It's not your inner self."
Mystery: "Really?"
Lilli confirmed: "Yes."
Mystery was still confused and asked: "But... I need to talk to my inner self, where can I find it?"
"Mystery, it is IN you."
The alien shook her head: "I don't understand it. OneBun said I had my inner self all the time with me, the man in the white coat told me that it was in me, and now you tell the same. What do you call inner self then? The heart? The liver? The..." But Lilli interrupted her: "Wait wait wait! The inner self is what is inside of you, what makes you to feel emotions, what is the most damagable part of you. It is the part that belongs to you like your outer body or your organs, and your mind aswell. You understand now?"
"Not really yet. Then... How can I get into touch with it?", Mystery asked.
"But you are already in contact with it everytime you do your meditation!", Lilli explained to Mystery.
The alien frowned, looked at Lilli, and then suddenly started to smile: "Really? Is it as simple as that? Hahaha, very good! I thought it was more complicated because humans make such a trouble around it with seminars about it and things called therapy and so on." Lilli nodded, and Mystery seemed to be very relieved. "Good, then I have only one problem left. How do I get rid of the virus?" Lilli asked: "What virus are you talking about, Mystery?"

[Lilliputt]

It was obvious that Lilliputt had no idea what Mistery was talking about, so an explanation followed. "When I was at the lecture about getting a better Self Image I came across OneBun”, Mistery said and watched Lilliputts reaction. As Lilliputt didn’t seem to find it odd that a pink bunny had taken part in a seminar, Mistery continued, “she told me that the reason why humans can't see her is because she is a symptom. The result is that only those who carry the Gamers Hood virus are able to see her.” This turn of events made Lilliputt open her mouth as wide as she could out of great surprise. Mistery also told Lilliputt about her fears that maybe everybody, Doglover, Escape, miss Holland, Adventure, Darknight, Freakshow, Vault and so on also were symptoms. “But that cannot be, Mistery. The doctor DID see Doglover and me too”. Mistery realised that Lilliputt had a point. She felt a tinge of relief. “Still”, said Mistery, “humans that are not infected by GH virus cannot see OneBun. I know this to be true, so what can we do?”. Lilliputt frowned at this and said, “I think we need a needle….”. Again Mistery was stumped by the answer. Perhaps the needle was meant to mend an open wound, only she was quite certain she didn’t have one. Maybe this was part of some human ritual or ceremony that she had never heard of. “Yes, of course we should find a needle”, Mistery said encouragingly, “Is there a way to cure me by the use of a needle, she said.” At this Lilliputt answered very seriously “Well, the virus must be stuck on Gamers Hood planet so if we can tie it to a thread using a needle, maybe we can at least see to it that it stays on the planet and doesn’t get spread all over”. “But what about OneBun”, Mistery said confused by the irrational logic. “Do you have a problem with a symptom that involves seeing a pink bunny taking notes?” said Lilliputt. “No!” Mistery honestly replied. “Then why would you want to get rid of that?”. There was a point to this too. Who knew an inferior intelligence such as this Carrot Islander could make so much sense? Mistery smiled to herself. “I have a needle in my space ship”, Mistery suggested. “No”, said Lilliputt, “I think I got just the thing for this. There is one small problem though….”. “Well, what is it?” said Mistery. “Oh, uhm,….you see I had just the right needle with me but I went to se miss Holland on Carrot Island to help her with her horses. I kinda sorta dropped the needle there.” Mistery thought this a minor problem. “So we beam ourselves up on my space ship and scan for it”. Lilliputt looked a little bothered by the suggestion. “So stupid really, it’s not gonna show on a scan”. “Why?” said Mistery in great surprise. “Because I dropped it in a hay stack, and it looks very similar to hay straws” Lilliputt said with a blush. “Could we just get out of here now? This place is creeping me out. I think it is haunted. I could swear I saw a ghost boy that looked just like Vault”.

[Mistery]

Mystery said: "Yes, I saw him, too. Do you think he is a symtom, too, like OneBun?"
Lilli answered: "Well, I'm not sure if he is or not. But let's get to your ship now."
Mystery agreed, but before using her beaming device, she gave Lilli a conspiratorial look that was very untypical for her, so Lilli already started to worry about the alien. But then Mystery took the doll, put it on the bed and strapped it to it. "Now, let's give a puzzle to the humans", she giggled. Lilli was still confused about Mystery's behavior but she started to laugh.
As soon as they arrived on Mystery's ship, Lilli started to worry about the needle problem once again. But Mystery told her to be patient. She scanned her electronic library, but could not find what she was looking for. Suddenly she remembered her opponent, the RIDDLER!!!!, who used to get information solely from Wikipedia. The only problem was that she could not remember where or how the RIDDLER!!!! could connect to this database.
She still remembered where her opponent was living, and decided to visit him. She asked Lilli to sit down, gave her a cup of coffee, and told her that she would be soon back. Then she beamed down to her opponent's house and rang the bell. Fortunately the RIDDLER!!!! was at home, but seemed to be very surprised to see Mystery here.
"YOU???? Here???? I thought... you were...", he started.
"No, no, I am not dead, I used my alien powers of meditation and as you see, I'm back again.", Mystery answered.
"And you have come to take revenge, right?", the RIDDLER!!!! asked.
"No, not yet, but I will. Right now I need your help. It is very important. And don't think it is for me, but for the whole GamersHood Planet and its residents.", Mystery said.
"Aha... Well... In that case... Okay. How can I help?"
"I need some information from Wikipedia, and I know that you are addicted to this database. I have seen that you have also printed out all the Wiki pages and put them for emergency cases into your safe. I can't find this database, so I wanted to ask you to get me some information from there.", Mystery explained.
"No problem", the RIDDLER!!!! replied and asked what information was needed. Mystery explained that she urgently needed the answer to the question "How to find a needle in a haystack". So the RIDDLER!!!! walked to his pc, was typing for a while and suddenly shouted: "Here! I have found it! I'm going to print it out for you.". And so he did. Mystery thanked him very much for the help and said goodbye. Then she joined Lilli on her spaceship.
"Lilli, don't worry, and know now how to find your needle in the haystack!", she said. Lilli still seemed disbelieving but yet full of hope.
Mystery followed the instructions from the paper that she got from her opponent and suddenly exclaimed: "I have found it! Now I can beam it up!"
"Well done, yesssss!", Lilli could hardly believe it, but then started to dance.
As soon as they got the needle, they flew to GamersHood Planet in search for the virus. This turned out to be a difficult problem. But Mystery remembered that OneBun seemed to have very much knowledge, and tried to call her: "OneBun, if you are around, please show yourself. We need your help!", but nothing happened.
Adventure observed this helpless situation, and intervened: "You must pile up some carrots.", and so they did. Suddenly they heard a sniffing sound behind them, turned around, and saw the pink bunny. "You have called me?", OneBun asked as she nibbled some carrots. Everyone greeted OneBun ceremonially. And Mystery explained: "Yes, we need your help. We need to strap the GamersHood virus, we have already a needle and Escape has already provided some thread."
OneBun reached into her basket that she was carrying around, and took out an object in a "GH"-shape with rainbow colors. "Here you go", the bunny said. Mystery took it, Escape managed to thread the wool through the needle, and gave it to Doglover. Doglover looked around and was unsure what to do now. So she just said: "Pfffffft." But Becky understood what Doglover meant and said: "Let's tie the virus to the tree in front of GamersHood Hotel." Again, Becky had a very good idea, and everyone agreed.
And so it was: the GamersHood virus was tied to the tree and could not spread in the world, however remained active on GamersHood Planet where everybody was content to have it near them.
Mystery and Lilli looked at each other, and then took a very proud look at all residents of GamersHood Planet. Yes, this was a wonderful place to live!

THE END

[OneBun]

Nite has fallen. *OneBun sighs* & thinks to herself, "I wonder why everyone has gone for the evening? I always thought everyone knew I was a contagious symptom of a virus. The only way to see me was through becoming visible through a virus" You see, the virus was supposed to spread & make everyone laugh. It was difficult coming up with a strong enough virus, as I had to infect many species like, clay pots, a bat, a robot, bread, a real Freakshow, a cat, an adventerious butterfly, a fox, a couple of lillies & many many others. I have to admit it was easy to infect the dazedandcrazed one.

After much study & note taking. My first test was infecting the great Gamers Turtle from the Hood with my symptom. Immediately, I began to spread as a symptom, which Bunerated into the Energizer Bunnyitious Magentae virus which turned me from a blue to a pink color. This seemed to spread quite fast through the GamersHood Planet. The first several attempts to affect the alien seemed to not work. I thought I had finally perfected it with infecting the alien with being able to see me in other places. It was a difficult task as I had never made an encouter like this before. Now it seems BunLaughter is not an acceptable virus, as it has some side effects like making some bang on drums to keep going & going & going. It also seems to have the side effect of causing a wolf to suck on balloons & howl in a high pitched squeaky voice. It seems as the whole GamersHood planet has become on gigantic looney bin... Is there anything this Bun can do to fix it all?

Onebun wiggles a bit as the wrappings, that still keep this bun tied around the tree, begin to itch from the moister of the fallen dew. This pink color of the virus may be the reason Lilliputt & Mistery thought I was a horrible virus. They could not see the real bun below the glow. It is not thier fault, as they could not know. I guess they just did not realize I am totally integrated in with the virus.

OneBun's head begins to nod & then gives way to a very restless sleep, still standing tightly in the grasp of the tree.... OneBun has one more thought as she drifts off to sleep.

"Maybe tomorrow someone will have mercy & release me"..........

to be continued............

[Lilliputt]

In the night a hero steps out of the shadows. He is tall and dark, his eyes flashes as he scans the surroundings while his ears are detecting every single sound. He moves silently and towards the tree and discovers a pink bunny tied to a tree. There is no hesitation as he quickly unties the helpless creature and disappears with the little fluffy animal into the night.

Morning has arisen on Carrot Island and Lilliputt is up with the first sign of dawn feeling happy and refreshed and content with herself. The knowledge that she has in a small part been able to help her beloved planet from being brought into a real world of inner selves and what not, is satisfying to her. As she is about to do her usual chores, picking carrots and tidying her little hut, a figure suddenly appears. Normally, Lilliputt would have been startled, but with recent events she has got used to this abnormality. “Greetings”, Mistery says with the curtsey she finds appropriate for the occasion. She nods slightly at Lilli who as always finds it odd that although they have become friends the alien still won’t greet her with a hug. Lilliputt smiles and with the words “good morning, my dear alien” she gives her friend a hug.
The greeting ritual of a hug has been a riddle to Mistery ever since she got to study human behaviour. There seemed to be all sorts of rules around it and so she usually found it simpler to give an ordinary greeting before hugging anyone. “Are you going to stay a bit?”, Lilliputt asked and moved towards a big log nearby and sat down, “the carrots are really juicy and I would be happy to have a snack with you”, she said. “I have come on a matter of urgency,” Mistery said while she examined the log. It seemed to be an object of wood, quite sturdy but did not seem very comfortable. She didn’t want her friend to think her impolite so she had a seat. “The virus is missing”, she said. “I believe it may have found a way to transmit itself to some ones inner self. Unfortunately I do not have enough data to process the matter and I would like some help.” At that Mistery moved a little as she found it difficult to find a comfortable position on the hard surface of the log. “It may be back at the loony bin and in that case it is spreading with unknown speed. Out of the collected data it is likely that we can go back and ask if anyone has seen a pink bunny taking notes. Then we can be certain that the virus is in fact spreading.” Mistery rose and studied Lilliputt carefully. Her friend frowned and for some reason had taken a very big interest in the grass around her feet. Lilliputt kept poking at the dirt as though it would give her an answer to a great mystery. “Thing is Mistery”, Lilliputt finally said,”I don’t really want to go back there cuz last time they kinda split me up and it tinted my personality”. Gloomily she glanced at Mistery that was pondering on a logical evaluation of the gravity of the situation. “Then we need some advice of how to deal with this,” Mistery finally said and so a few minutes later they beamed them selves down to see Freakshow.

[Mistery]

Freakshow is standing in front of a mirror and is shooting in the air shouting: "I'm not crazy, I'm not crazyyyyy!!!", but Mystery interrupts him: "Freakshow, I know that you need to exercize for the actor competition on GamersHood Planet, but we are here because we are in very serious troubles."
Freakshow immediately stops his exercize, becomes very serious, and quickly puts down the gun into the corner: "Okay, what is the problem?".
Lilli explains what has happened, and that they needed to find the virus. Suddenly bread walks out of the oven (if you need info on that, read post #1663 in the GH Hotel thread) and says: "I have the virus. I'm getting popups all the time."
"What kind of popups, bread?", all ask in a choir, and bread replies: "Pink bunnies.... And I did a scan with AVG but I can't track it down.", and some tears appear in the corner of his eyes. Suddenly they hear a voice coming from the corner opposite to the mirror: "I'm in a pot.", and they recognize the voice of Hyper, the fox.
Freakshow says: "Good, stay there, Hyper, it is the most safe place right now.", then he frowns and turns to bread: "Well, what about calling BeanMan and let him drive on your pc by his bike?", but bread starts to shout: "No, no, not my pc! Is there any other way? Please!"
Everyone is standing around, looking at each other, and thinking about possible solutions. It is very quiet. But suddenly they hear the well known voice again: "It's hot in here, I'm burning." Mystery runs to the freezer, takes out a couple of ice cubes and puts them into the pot. "Better?", she asks. "Yes, thanks", the fox answers.
Now who could give them an advice how to grab the virus that seems to hide in breads pc? Mystery is not enough familiar with this human built machines and has no idea either. They decide to ask Sir Theme, the advanced intelligence robotic humanoid farmer. He might have a good idea. So they leave Freakshows room, leaving back Hyper in the pot, and fly over to the Robot Island with Mystery's ship.

[Lilliputt]

Freakshow is standing in front of a mirror and is shooting in the air shouting: "I'm not crazy, I'm not crazyyyyy!!!", but Mystery interrupts him: "Freakshow, I know that you need to exercize for the actor competition on GamersHood Planet, but we are here because we are in very serious troubles."
Freakshow immediately stops his exercize, becomes very serious, and quickly puts down the gun into the corner: "Okay, what is the problem?".
Lilli explains what has happened, and that they needed to find the virus. Suddenly bread walks out of the oven (if you need info on that, read post #1663 in the GH Hotel thread) and says: "I have the virus. I'm getting popups all the time."
"What kind of popups, bread?", all ask in a choir, and bread replies: "Pink bunnies.... And I did a scan with AVG but I can't track it down.", and some tears appear in the corner of his eyes. Suddenly they hear a voice coming from the corner opposite to the mirror: "I'm in a pot.", and they recognize the voice of Hyper, the fox.


Freakshow says: "Good, stay there, Hyper, it is the most safe place right now.", then he frowns and turns to bread: "Well, what about calling BeanMan and let him drive on your pc by his bike?", but bread starts to shout: "No, no, not my pc! Is there any other way? Please!"
Everyone is standing around, looking at each other, and thinking about possible solutions. It is very quiet. But suddenly they hear the well known voice again: "It's hot in here, I'm burning." Mystery runs to the freezer, takes out a couple of ice cubes and puts them into the pot. "Better?", she asks. "Yes, thanks", the fox answers.
Now who could give them an advice how to grab the virus that seems to hide in breads pc? Mystery is not enough familiar with this human built machines and has no idea either. They decide to ask Sir Theme, the advanced intelligence robotic humanoid farmer. He might have a good idea. So they leave Freakshows room, leaving back Hyper in the pot, and fly over to the Robot Island with Mystery's ship.

OneBun awoke in a strange and unfamiliar place. She sniffed and thought she caught a familiar scent. Then she carefully leaped about in the dim cave like room. There where all sorts of strange objects and gizmos and also a big black car of an unfamiliar model. She felt the urge to take notes but her note pad was missing. As she thought of this a white bowl not far from her, caught her attention. “Oh, carrots!” she thought and completely forgot her predicament. She made her way to the bowl and picked a fresh one that smelled wonderful and started to nibble on it. “Hmmmm….delicious”.

Lilliputt was stunned by the fact that nobody seemed to take her suggestion what to do with the computer seriously. All they needed was a blunt instrument and a good old punch in the right place. Somehow it did not make any impression on the others. As they landed on Robot Island, Lilliputts eyes opened wide at the sight of all the technical little gizmos that seemed to be popping out of the woodwork. They were greeted by Sir Theme that did not seem to be particularly surprised at their arrival. They explained the problem and sir Theme stood a moment in silence as he thought about a solution. Then Mistery and sir Theme engaged in a conversation that sounded like mere gibberish in Lilliputts ears. It had something to do with a program and something about system and all sorts of other odd words, which she had no idea what it meant. She started to wonder about in the castle of sir Theme and meddling about with computer gizmos she had never seen. As she stumbled about on cables and other equipment, she suddenly discovered a toolbox. Inside was a hammer. Lilliputts evil pinky started to twitch. Still chatting away, Mistery and sir Theme managed to forget what they were supposed to figure out in the first place. Frekshow was sitting in a comfy armchair and had fallen asleep.
Mistery had a great time engaging herself in a familiar topic that the advanced intelligence robotic humanoid farmer could handle with such ease. The problem of the virus somehow seemed less threatening now. As they finally were about to take a look at the computer there was a big bang and so they rushed to see what was going on. There, with a very big smile on her face and a hammer in her hand, stood Lilliputt and beside her the trashed computer. “Now”, she said cheerfully, “all we gotta do is find the virus”.

[OneBun]

OneBun was exhausted as she hoped slowly around the cave. She sniffed again as the familiar scent which seemed even closer now. It was a scent that did not seem to alarm her too much, so she quickly dismissed it as she continued to nibble on her found breakfast, as she explored the unique gadgets hidden deep in this cave.

She could just vaguely remember the last several hours. She tried hard to remember, but it had been so dark...the figure that had appeared seemed to move so quick... as a thief in the night. It had appeared to be a caped figure, which was what was puzzling this bun as she tryed to think who it might have been. They had seemed all too familiar. Though they appeared to be dark OneBun still has a sense of feeling safe as she had quickly escaped tucked under the arm of this Mysterious one.

OneBun shivered at the thought of the chill of the night still lingering in her still damp coat of fir. The pulsing pink glow had subsided a bit. This made the bun a bit nervous, The planet of GamersHood could easliy fall into a state of sadness if she did not do something fast. She must get her energy back.

Suddenly, out of the dark shadows appeared the dark figure once again. OneBun Froze with a half chewed carrot still hanging from her mouth. With a strong voice the figure said, How are you feeling my powder-puffed tailed friend? It was Darknight, he truly was a hero, just as OneBun had always thought. Thank You for Rescuing me my dear friend! OneBun said with a joy she could not hide! Why were you tied to a tree out in the woods in the middle of the night? asked Darknight curiously. Well you see... it's a long story... Mistery & Lilliputt tied me to the tree but it was not thier fault. I have been taking notes on the emotional state of the members of GamersHood planet for a while now. I quickly became concerned about the need for more laughter, as it seemed to disapear... at times... as can be true of any Hood.

I got a study group together to figure out a way to make people laugh more. We developed a vaccine that would improve the wellbeing of all. Our first attempt to vaccinate the great GamersTurtle from the Hood was unsuccessful. So, we decided to have me carry the vaccine in as a symptom. The plans to prep me for this mission went well. We double checked our statistical research several times, but there were some unforeseen side effects... For one, I was changed from a blue bunny to a pulsing pink one.
Here is an picture of myself before the change:

*shows photo to Darknight* I was supposed to just infect the GH Planet as a laughter symptom, to bring harmony among all but....

OneBun was interupted by Darknight So then, you are a superhero like me! he said with joy. "No" OneBun said, sadly I'm not... as there have been other side effects as well." What other side effects, Darknight asked curiously. Well, OneBun said, I miss calculated how fast the laughter would spread.... Immediately, I began to spread as a symptom, which Bunerated into the Energizer Bunnyitious Magentae Virus, which caused me to pulse a bright pink glow. This seemed to spread quite fast through the GamersHood Planet. It also has some side effects like making some bang on drums to keep going & going & going. It also seems to have the side effect of causing a wolf to suck on balloons & howl in a high pitched squeaky voice. It seems as the whole GamersHood planet has become on gigantic looney bin of laughter... Is there anything this Bun can do to fix it all? It has become so bad that the doglover & the adventerious butter fly cannot stop laughing. I'm afraid for thier saftey.... that they will hurt their sides.

Wow, said Darknight, we must find out what to do. I have heard the members are out to find the virus & destroy it. They donot understand that it is a part of what you have become. We must come up with a plan. Maybe Hollandgirl can ride fast to send a message to the great bobin, maybe they will know what to do. They might know someone who will speak to all of the need for the symptom of laughter to spread through the planet.

Hurry to the Batmobile....

[Vault]

A young man sat down, cross legged, with a blindfold over his eyes. "It is time." The man then made various symbols with his hands, and dark wind began to swirl around him. "I must contact her! The gifted one! Tetsuryuka, take me to her!" The man then fell limp to the ground as if he had died.
Lilliput felt a shock in her head. Darkness began to creep around the room, untill it engulfed everything. Then she felt wind, first raging like a hurricane, then gentle. She was in a different place. It was a strange, beautiful yet terrifying place that looked like it was from a dream. Energy flowed through the air.
"At last.. I have made contact!" Lilli spun around and saw the man. He was holding a long sword with a black hilt and the sharpest blade she had ever seen.
"What.. where am I?" said Lilli.
"My forest of dreams. Listen, I do not have much time. Take this, it will provide useful in your adventures. The darkness draws near. There is little time."
The man then sheathed the sword and offered it to her.
"The legendary Tetsuryuka. This blade may be useful to you."
'But... but why me? Why out of all people did you pick me to give this to?" said Lilli.
"You are special. You will prove to be the pinpoint of light in the deepest darkness. Take the sword."
Lilli grasped the hilt and was immediately filled with a sense of strength and knowledge. The sword felt good in her hand, and she took a little swing with it.
"Be careful with that! It is very sharp, that is no ordinary blade. I must go now."
"Wait!" said Lilli. "What is your name? And why do you have the band over your eyes?"
"I am he called Vault. And I will never see again. If I were to see, everything as we know it would come to an end."
"Trust in the Tetsuryuka..."
The wind came back, and she was in the same room she was in when she was taken out of it. She still had the long sword in her hand.
"But... why me?" Lilli still wondered.

[Mistery]

On Robot Island, everyone froze. After Lilli had exclaimed: ?Now, all we gotta do is find the virus?, she suddenly became blurred and was gone.
Bread and Freakshow started to shout: "Nooooo. Lilli, where are you? What is happening here?!?", but ThemePark and Mystery just looked each other in the eye and then hastened to a machine. They started to push buttons, to turn wheels, and stared on the screen that was at the top part of the silver machine. "Nothing yet", ThemePark stated in a monotonouse voice, and Mystery just nodded.

Meanwhile Darknight and OneBun got into the Batmobile and arrived at Bobin's house. Unfortunately there was no bell next to the door, and since they were not criminals, they didn't want to break the door. "Wait", Darknight said, went back to the Batmobile, and took a megaphone from under the seat. OneBun quickly took two small carrots and plugged them into her ears while she smiled ashamed at Darknight. "You know, my ears are very delicate."
Darknight shouted into the megaphone: "Boooooobiiiiiin!!!! Weeee neeeed youuuuuur heeeeeelp!", but nothing else happened other than some neighbors opened their windows and started to yell: "Hey, are you crazy, man??? It is Sunday morning 5 a.m.!!!! And what kind of masquerade are you wearing?!? Get lost, or we are going to call the police!!!!" Of course the neighbors didn't see the pink bunny, but for some reason they were able to see the bat.
Darknight wasn't used to such reactions and asked politely: "Sorry, it's just that we need Bobin's help, and I haven't found the door bell."
And old man said out of the window on the third floor: "Yes, Bobin has gone to see some friends, and took the door bell out, so that we are not disturbed by the ringing at the door. A very nice neighbor by the way."
OneBun took the carrots out of her ears, and took some notes. Then both walked over to the Batmobil and got in. They looked at each other, then OneBun started to read quickly through her pile of notes, and suddenly exclaimed: "I have an idea. ThemePark could not be infected very quickly with the virus, so he might have some protection in his system. Maybe we could isolate that element and make a vaccine out of it. Let's visit ThemePark!", and Darknight navigated the Batmobile to Robot Island.

Crashing into the mental ward, Lilliputt charged forward in search of the horrible missing virus. She swung her mighty sword left and right, while trying to detect possible threats. Under other circumstances she would have attracted considerable attention, but this was loony bin. Strange behavior was here a very common and not a frightening phenomenon. All she got was a few yawns, a raising of an eyebrow and plenty of indifferent looks. "What is this?" she thought to herself, "can't they see I have been CHOSEN?!"
The doctor in the white coat had had a long day and was now called to the scene where Lilliputt had charged in. He observed the strange little lady swinging a plastic copy of a great sword and sighed to himself. "Why could it never be simple?", he thought to himself as he tried to think of a way to calm the wild visitor down.

Meanwhile ThemePark managed to locate Lilli, and suddenly a strange movie was displayed on the screen: Lilli was surrounded by men in white coats, and was swinging a sword in her graceful movements as ever. Bread and Freakshow pointed to the screen and said: "Yes, you have found her!!! Now get her out of there!", but Mystery looked up into the sky and stated: "Visit is coming."
Now everybody noticed the Batmobile. Darknight and OneBun got out and walked to ThemePark. They explained their idea and wanted to start the search for the element to make others less susceptible for the effects of the VIRUS, but the robot shook his head: "We have to free Lilli first. She is caught in a human mental institution.", and pointed to the screen.
They decided to beam up on Mystery's ship and also to take the Batmobile on board.
After their arrival above the human mental institution, Mystery located Lilli and beamed her up. Lilli was still swinging the sword and shouting: "I have been chosen, I have been chosen!". But no matter how they tried to stop her, she didn't seem to see or to hear them. "Quickly, we need the antidote", OneBun explained and started to search for the element in ThemeParks system. After a short while she was able to isolate it. She asked Mystery for a big jar, added the element and a lot of carrot juice. She then took a syringe, and filled it with the antidote. "I'm not going to inject too much of it, because I still want you to laugh and to be happy in the GamersHood Loony Bin. But everything had gone out of control and I have to limit the effects of the GamersHood Virus. So, just 5 mg for everybody. Well, for Lilli we are going to need 10 mg I think."
OneBun turned to Lilli and gave her a shot, then continued with the others. When she turned to ThemePark, she asked: "Are you okay?" The robot nodded and said: "Of course, if I have any problems, I can download from my creator what I need. Thank you OneBun.", and smiled politely.
OneBun looked at her friends and smiled: "It's done. But we have to fly to GamersHood Planet quickly. I need to give everyone a shot."

And so it was. They flew to GamersHood Planet and the pink bunny gave everyone a shot. Almost. The only problem was that Doglover had disappeared. Mystery said: "No problem, I will try to locate her", and after a short while, she said: "I got her. She was somehow transferred to the Other World and... look at this!" Suddenly a huge screen appeared in front of them and everyone looked amazed at the scene. It showed Doglover rolling on the floor, tears in her eyes and shouting: "Ouch, ouch, I can't stop laughing". Her mom was staying next to her, pointing with her forefinger at her and shouted: "If you don't stop laughing immediately, I will sell the computer. I've got enough!!!", and she ran out of the room.
Mystery said: "I have to beam her up to my ship, and then down to us." "Agreed.", said OneBun. Becky gave a howling as sign of her agreement, and this time she didn't suck in helium before howling.
Mystery beamed Doglover to her ship, and immediately to GamersHood Planet. Doglover was still rolling on the floor, so OneBun hasted to her and gave her a shot of the mix. The bunny then looked around and stated: "10 mg."
Doglover suddenly stopped laughing but still had a smile on her face. She exclaimed: "Grouphug!!!", and everyone joined. Even Mystery and ThemePark, who exchanged a knowing smile. After the huge groupehug, Becky went to the kitchen to prepare some delicious food for the party on GamersHood Planet, and everyone else started to dance - with the exception of OneBun, who sat down, observed them, and took notes.

THE END
